Could I use the simple file with just the IP (no actual
lookup value), and would my code then be:

deny        message = IP $host_data Blacklisted
     !authenticated = *
              hosts = net-lsearch;/etc/exim.acl

(I will research net-lsearch too.)

That was my understanding but I still wonder if I could not
create an artificial lookup key that includes a SPACE, e.g.,
"1 $host_data" or something...?

Thanks for ALL of the ideas you have offered or may now have.
